General Description:

The ALL-KEYS enables any PC keyboard to be a programmable keyboard without the use of TSR's or keyboard drivers. That means you can program any key, with the exception of the Shift, Control and Alt keys on a standard 102 keyboard.

Each key position can be programmed to have a single character or string of characters including caps lock, num lock, scroll lock, shift, control and alt conditions.

Power is supplied directly via the keyboard port. No external power supply or batteries are required.

Simply disconnect the keyboard from the PC and plug it into the ALL-KEYS then plug the ALL-KEYS into the PC's keyboard port.

The ALL-KEYS are supplied with a universal AT to PS/2 adapter lead that enables the ALL-KEYS to be connected to PC's with 5 pin DIN or 6 pin mini-DIN PS/2 style keyboards.

Using the ALL-KEYS enables any keys to be programmed with up to 3 layers by using the Shift, Control or Alt. This could give 288 storable locations on a standard 102 keyboard.

The ALL-KEYS can be programmed by the keyboard connected to it or by means of a utility program. Cloning of ALL-KEYS can achieved by connecting two ALL-KEYS together. Once programmed the ALL-KEYS will not forget the information programmed inside even when not connected to a PC.
